There are four good-sized upstairs bedrooms, two king-size rooms with shared shower room and two double-size rooms with shared bathroom (shower above bath). Downstairs there is a further shower room. There is a hairdryer and all linen and towels are provided.

Downstairs there is a cosy lounge with open plan dining with seating for six people and an open fire.

There is a fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. To complete the family room there is a wood-burning stove which is very welcoming after a day outdoors.
The large west facing garden is a fabulous sun-trap, the sun can be enjoyed from mid morning to the last rays in the evening. There is access to a large lockable shed - perfect for guests to store bikes or golf clubs etc.

Beechwood is located in the centre of the Victorian village of Ballater and has all the amenities of the village on the doorstep. Ballater has many shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries to enjoy, most notably the recently refurbished Old Royal Station minutes from the cottage.

From the cottage there are many walks to explore - from the paths along the river, the recently opened Seven Bridges Walk and of course Craigendarroch Hill with it's spectacular views of Ballater and Lochnagar.

Ballater is just 7km from Balmoral Castle and Estate, the Royal Family's Scottish holiday home since 1852.

Superb property and location
This cottage was perfect for our stay. The cleanliness and quality of all the rooms meant it was extremely comfortable. Communication with the owner was easy and friendly. There was some nice personal touches as well, such as a welcome pack on arrival. The location was ideal, Ballater is beautiful and has great walks straight out the door of the cottage and there is a good variety of food and drink in the town which were all very good quality. Balmoral and the Glenshee ski area were only a short drive away. Overall, a fantastic base for a great family holiday and would definitely book here again.

Deeside house
We stayed at the house for a week. The location is excellent. The kids loved walking to shorty’s for ice cream every day and the town had everything we needed. The house was very comfortable however to e sitting rooms both are a little small for 5 people. The house had been recently renovated and they did a great job. Good beds abs showers. A dryer for clothes would have been nice given the rain and damp, it took a long time for things to dry. The owners were very accommodating and easy to reach.

Well appointed house with wonderful garden and great hosts.
Beechwood is exactly as advertised, a comfortable, contemporary, well furnished house in a quiet but convenient location in the centre of Ballater. The bonus is the quality of the fittings, bathrooms, kitchen, soft furniture, beds and the beautiful garden. The hosts were super responsive and the little touches make us want to return next year.

Beechwood Ballater
We had an excellent week in Beechwood, Ballater. This house is one of the best we've stayed in, the decor, layout and furniture are all top quality. The property was immaculately clean with the little touches that make all the difference, such logs for the stove and a welcome basket on arrival. The location is a two minute walk from local restaurants, pubs and shops but is also very quiet. The surrounding area has lots to do with both adventurous and relaxing activities. Mark and his family have thought of everything, thanks again for great week!
